In this Photo Deconstruction I demonstrate how to use Adobe Photoshop's Generative Fill to enhance this fashion image.
What is generative fill?
--
Generative Fill is an AI (artificial intelligence) tool powered by Adobe Firefly that enables you to add and remove content from images nondestructively using simple text prompts to achieve realistic results. This tool is part of the latest editions of Photoshop.

💡Lighting (3)
1. **Main Light**:
- Type: Profoto D2
- Modifier: Westcott Optical Spot + lens kit
- Position: Right-hand side
- Purpose: Creates a concentrated area of light on the face and torso, emulating a vintage feel.
- Additional Features: Shutter doors to control the spread of light.
2 & 3. **Background Lights**:
- Type: Two strobes with small white umbrellas
- Position: Left and right sides, pointed towards the background
- Purpose: Illuminates the background to achieve a clean, high-key look.
This setup creates a controlled lighting environment with emphasis on the subject's face and a clean, high-key background. Additionally, the use of specific modifiers and techniques like the optical spot adds to the desired aesthetic, while the camera settings ensure optimal exposure.
